42 AMERICAN INDIAN SUMMER 2019
CELEBRATE THE SUN 3 p.m.–7 p.m. Don’t miss the Museum’s second an- nual Solstice Saturday, which opens with traditional Bolivian dancing by Tradicio- nes Bolivianas, Tinkus Llajtaymanta and Centro Cultural Bolivia, and music by Tarqueada VA USA. Make your own An- dean fan based on the “chakana” (a symbol indicating the four cardinal directions) and add luminescent embellishments to show off later in the evening. Get inspired by the solar and lunar imagery throughout the Museum and decorate your own canvas bag to take home. At 9 p.m., bring your luminescent fan and join a “comparsa Iluminada”—an illuminated proces- sion—from the festivities to an outdoor gathering on the Welcome Plaza.
SOLSTICE ILLUMINATED DANCE PARTY: AN NMAI AFTER HOURS EVENT 7 p.m.–9:30 p.m. Continue the celebration after the sun dips below the horizon. Grab a glow stick and dance to a DJ on the Welcome Plaza.
SOLSTICE SATURDAY | JUNE 22
During the event, local food trucks and the Museum’s Mitsitam Café Espresso Bar will be available with food and drink to purchase. Be sure to visit the Museum’s membership table with your member card to receive a special gift (or join that evening). Cool off with a walk through the indoor galleries, which also will be open.
